A village pub has been recognised for serving excellent beer.

The Butcher’s Arms, in Yatton’s High Street, is the only public house in the Times patch to have made it into the Campaign for Real Ale society’s (CAMRA) Good Beer Guide 2019.

The book acknowledges more than 4,500 pubs it feels serve the best quality ale across the country and is completely independent, with listings based entirely on evaluation by CAMRA volunteers.

Landlady Cas Radnedge is delighted the pub has been recognised.

She said: “It is fantastic to be recognised like this and it is a real boost for us.

“Me and my staff have worked very hard over the past two years to turn this pub around.

“When we took it over there were so many issues, it had a bad reputation as being a rowdy place and the inside of the building was damp and dirty, but we have turned things around and to be acknowledged by CAMRA is great news for us.”
